cite a simple example of how the Taney Court, in a series of decisions, reteated from the Marshall Courts doctrinal position.

Being that Roger B. Taney is now Chief Justice and the Dred Scott case reaches the Supreme Court, do you find it odd that the Supreme Court decided to hear the case? Explain.

How did Chief Justice Taney react to Willeam H Seward's attack on Taney's Dred Scott decision?

What do you think the constitutional or political issue was in the Ex Parte Merryman case?

In spite of the outcome of the Merryman case, did the Lincoln Administration soon try a different tactic?
